An All Natural and Sugar Free probiotic formula specifically designed for Kids! Our small sized pearl is easier for kids to swallow (and still tastes great if chewed)! With our patented controlled delivery system, 60% of the beneficial flora (instead of the usual 4% of most other brands) will survive the harsh environment of a child’s stomach acids and travel deep into the intestinal tract, delivering the probiotics where they are needed most.

Based on our flagship formula for adults, currently the #1 selling online brand, we have developed the most effective probiotic formula for children. With the 4 most proven strains (including B. infantis), this formula will counter the negative effects of today's broad spectrum antibiotics.

We are dedicated to providing you and your family with the most effective probiotic supplementation to repair, repopulate and restore the gastrointestinal tract of your children, helping build the foundation for a lifetime of health.

Review:

I have wanted to find a probiotic for my son, and so when I had the chance to do a review for Hyperbiotics Pro-Kid’s Probiotic, I was very excited. I love that Hyperbiotics has a control release technology that delivers the probiotic to the intestinal tract. According to Hyperbiotics, this probiotic is 15 more effective than other probiotics. I rely on probiotics myself, and really think my son could benefit from them as well. Being that your digestive system directly impacts the health of your immune system, I really want to keep his digestive system healthy.

Also, they say that fatigue and irritability are often a result of poor vitamin and nutrient absorption. These probiotics for kids help create a microenvironment inside their digestive system that helps promote full mineral absorption so that they can feel healthy and energetic. That being said, my son doesn’t always eat what I would like him to eat, and I’d like what good he does eat to be absorbed fully. He does get tired and irritable at times and I had high hopes of this probiotic making a difference in that.

One thing I really like about these probiotics is that they are very small- they are actually called pearls. This makes it very easy for younger children to swallow. They could also be chewed or crushed easily and still taste pretty good. They should be swallowed, if possible, for best results, but if not, you can still get good results by crushing or chewing. My son is 6 and has no problems swallowing these pearls.

We’ve been trying these daily for a few weeks and so far, I think they have been making a difference. He’s been feeling better and his mood has actually been much better. He’s also been less tired and more alert. I haven’t had near as much trouble with him at night. Usually he gets very moody and dramatic, but so far he’s been much calmer and easier to get to go to bed, etc.

I’m not sure if it’s the probiotics or something else, but I’ve been happier to see him happier. He’s also had less tummy complaints as well. Overall, we’ve been happy with these probiotics and I can see us continuing to use these after this bottle is finished.

I’ve been struggling for a while now with my weight loss goals. I take a few different medications that make losing weight nearly impossible. In any event, I was very excited to be able to try out a scale that not only tracks my BMI, but also my lean mass, body fat, water weight, and bone mass. I can sync to my phone and get all the info I need. How cool is that? I never knew scales could be so informative!

This scale is so helpful in terms of tracking progress. This scale and app allow you to track your progress, set goals, and stay motivated along the way. You can also view trends and chart your progress. This scale and app combo is absolutely amazing in terms of keeping yourself in check!

The scale itself is easy to use. It’s also easy to read in lighted areas or in the dark. It has an extra-large 4.3” diagonal LCD screen and 4 high precision sensors that provide reliable, truthful measurements every time you use it. This scale also can go up to 400lbs.

This scale sounds really complicated, but actually, it’s not at all! You just step on the scale, view your results and if you would like to sync your results, you can scan the display with your smart phone’s camera. You don’t even have to sync your results if you don’t want to; however, how could you not want to?!

This scale provides two options for viewing your progress: the Traditional View shows you your current weight, while the Weightless View shows you the difference from your last weigh-in (ex -2lbs). Weightless View is great for those that prefer to focus on being healthy, not being a number. It’s a good way to keep track of your progress, without obsessing over a number.

Another feature of this scale that is great is that it can keep track of up to 8 different users via auto detection. Basically, it can determine who is on the scale by the person’s weight. (I’m not sure how it works if two people are identical weights!).

Overall, this is a very affordable and impressive scale that can keep track of your whole family’s weight and health via an app on your phone. It’s one scale I couldn’t imagine not having now that I have it. If you are trying to keep track of your weight, BMI, and other indicators, than this would be a great scale for you!

InstaNatural’s Stretch Mark & Scar Cream is an effective treatment to minimize the appearance of current marks, while also preventing the forming of new ones. Stretch marks and scars are created when collagen is weakened and skin is stretched or torn beyond its limit. Our cream heavily moisturizes affected areas – such as hips, stomach and arms - delivering nourishment and hydration to enhance elasticity of your skin and help restore a youthful look and even appearance.Key Ingredients:+ Vitamin C (15%)+ Cocoa Butter+ Rosehip Oil+ Mango Butter+ Grapeseed Oil+ Evening Primrose Oil

Review:

First of all, I love InstaNatural products (as I always have to mention!). I was really excited to get to try this product as I have plenty of stretch marks from when I had my son and from some weight gain that I’ve had over the years and I do have a few scars (one is the emergency c-section I had with my son that decided to get stuck sunny side up) that I would like to lighten.

Obviously, there is no magic cure/cream out there that will just make scars and stretch marks vanish, but this cream works wonders at lightening them! I’ve been using this product for a while now and have seen an actual difference in the appearance of my scars and stretch marks!

This cream smells absolutely wonderful and, like it says in the description, is very, very hydrating! I really love this cream. I enjoying using this cream every day- usually in the AM and PM. This cream rubs on very smoothly and absorbs quickly and completely. You can definitely feel the hydration afterwards. I really love how this product makes my skin feel. I also love how it fades my imperfections.

This product is loaded with wonderful natural ingredients that I am happy to put on my skin. I always hate products that are full of chemicals and other ingredients you can’t pronounce. If I can’t pronounce it, I probably don’t want it on my skin. This product has a wonderful combination of Primrose oil, vitamin C, Mango Butter, Rosehip Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Cocoa Butter!

Overall, I can highly recommend this product to anyone who has some scars and/or stretch marks they’d like to fade. They won’t magically disappear, but they will fade and look a lot less noticeable!

Manic Drive has been widely known as a Canadian band who always delivers a great show, but over the past few years and project releases, they have added to their extensive touring of Canadian and US markets multiple Billboard Top 10 & 20 singles on CHR & Christian Rock Radio. Manic Drive is clearly very intentional about reaching their generation and inspiring them to pursue a deeper walk with Christ and to get involved in changing the world they are inheriting. And they are uniquely equipped to do so. The band members, all in their early-mid twenties, have made sacrifices to pursue God’s call on their lives. Their life experience, spiritual maturity and ministry have opened doors to speak into the lives of their own generation and that is perhaps the most defining characteristic of this group of guys.

Review:

Before I had the chance to review this album, I wasn’t familiar with Manic Drive. Their music is very fun and very catchy. It has a great beat and sound to it. I actually really enjoyed it! I think there’s a song for everyone on this album, no matter where they are with their faith. Some of the songs are about wanting to share your faith, and other songs focus on matters of the heart. It’s a great album for anyone who loves a good beat, loves good music and for anyone who loves Christian Rock.

They also have a nice see through mesh panel that lets you see what you have in each of your cubes. Dot&Dot alsp offers a no questions asked money back guarantee on this product so that if you are not satisfied with this product, just return for a refund.

These Dot&Dot small Packing Cubes allow you to pack a variety of different things. They would be great for traveling. You could easily store and organize items. You could easily sort your bath products, your underwear/socks, small items, baby items, and so much more. You could keep them in your suitcase, or you could use them in the car while traveling to store little games and other items for children to keep them occupied. Really, these packing cubes are very useful and you could use them for anything, really.

I absolutely love this cube and wish I had more of them. I could think of a ton of different uses for them. I would love to keep one in the car, a few in my dresser drawer to keep things organized, and of course I’d keep a few around for traveling. I’d also love to have one for my son’s small little toys (think cars). I think that would be very handy! He could carry them all around easily, and keep them organized. I think these little cubes would also be great for making a home-made first aid kit. They would be the perfect size and would be easily accessible and portable.

Overall, I can’t say enough about these cubes. Even the bag the cube comes in is nice and useful! It comes in a nice heavy zippered pouch. I’ve already put it to good use. I really think these Dot&Dot Small Packing Organizers are awesome! I wish I had a lot more as I can think of a million ways I could and would use them. I will definitely be getting more of these and I think It’s great they come in a wide variety of colors so that you can match them to whatever you want to match them to (or just to pick your favorite color!).

Made of high quality materials, Dot&Dot organizers will last a lifetime of travel and adventure.

Save your money from low quality organizers that just don't work or get damaged after few uses.

Review:

Dot&Dot Multipurpose bags are great bags for traveling, for the office, for school, at home, in the car, or anywhere else you could possibly imagine. These bags are great for de-cluttering and make finding your stuff so much easier.

I also think these would be absolutely amazing for the beach! You could carry all you need in them without worrying about taking back sand with you. The sand would just fall out of the mesh. I definitely think I will be getting more of these for my next beach trip- it only makes sense.

I love that this bag is made from waterproof mesh and that it has an easy open and close zipper as well as a really nice zipper pull. This bag also has a great clip for hanging wherever you may want to hang your bag.

Overall, I really like this bag. I like to use it in my purse to organize all the junk I have in there. It works so well for that. I also use the clip to attach it to a loop in the inside of my bag, so it doesn’t wander around in there. It’s been a lifesaver!

For those that want the power of Vitamin C and Retinol to fight against aging, while also treating acne and hyperpigmentation, our Anti-Aging Skin Clearing Serum is the perfect solution for you. The lightweight serum absorbs easily into the skin, delivering 20% Vitamin C and 2.5% Retinol to help reverse the signs of aging by restoring a youthful appearance to the skin. Vitamin C and Retinol helps to combat issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, discoloration, and dry, rough skin.

Meanwhile, a combination of Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid soothes irritated skin, treats blemishes. These potent ingredients unclog pores to remove redness and inflammation, resulting in a clearer, brighter complexion while also diminishing signs of aging.

I love InstaNatural’s products and I was excited to try this Anti-Aging Skin Clearing Serum. I am trying to fight the signs of aging as well as work on ridding my skin of a couple spots and every once and awhile I get some acne issues cropping up that I’d like to nip in the bud.

Typically I need several different products to treat these issues that I have. I usually need products for anti-aging, products for the acne part, and other products for the spots I’d like to fade. It’s nice that this product can treat all of these problems vs. just one. I love multitaskers as unitaskers are a waste of counter space, for the most part (there are a few exceptions!).

This serum came in a nice sized 1oz glass bottle with a dropper. I’m not a huge fan of droppers, but if the product is great I can overlook that fact. I think they sell pumpers you can add to bottles. Not entirely sure, however. In any event, this is a nice non-oily serum that’s more creamy and milky than most serums. It also has a nice orangey smell to it. It smoothed over my skin very nice and was quick to absorb. There was no greasy after feeling to this serum. My skin felt very nice and hydrated.

Overall, this product has worked wonderfully for my skin. It has been so much softer, smoother, and most importantly acne free! I am not entirely sure how it’s working for my fine lines, as they don’t seem to be going anywhere just yet. I think I need to keep using a little longer to see more of a difference; nothing will be a miracle cure for that! I do see a little bit of a difference in some of my dark spots- they aren’t near as dark as they had been (not that they were super dark). I really do love this product.

This product is pioneering advancements in brain health. Clinical studies show that the ingredients in this product are key to improving your memory, concentration, and alertness.

Powered by superior ingredients such as citicoline and phosphatidylserine. This is a non-prescription brain-health formula that can help support your most valuable asset – your brain.

Our advanced 100% vegetarian liquid capsules allow for rapid absorption. Whether you're studying for a huge test, working on your next genius idea, or just rolling up your sleeves and getting ready to get serious about a big project. This product can help support the memory enhancement, focus, and concentration you need now to reach your optimal brain power.

Before I had been given the opportunity to review Excelerol Brain Health Supplement, I had never heard of it. Had I, I would surely had tried it! I can use all the mental alertness, focus, and concentration I can get.

I received a package of 90 liquid caps to try. I thought it was interesting the package said 90 caps, but on Amazon it says 96 caps. But in any event, I was very excited to try them out. They package indicates to take 1-3 capsules a day or as recommended by a health professional. I took one the next morning to avoid any possible problems it may cause with trying to sleep and to see how it would react with me. I have enough problems trying to sleep. Anyway, after taking one of the caps about 30 minutes or so later I started to feel a little more alert and focused. I noticed that for most of the day I was more focused, more able to concentrate on the task at hand and more alert than usual. This is great for when I am at work (or at home for that matter)!

After continued use of this product I have noticed a drastic change in my ability to concentrate and focus! This product is absolutely wonderful! I have never been so focused and able to concentrate like I have after taking these supplements after a while.

I only have a few caps left and am worried about how I will be without them! I am pretty sure I’ll have to get another pack because I don’t want to go back to the way I was before- unable to concentrate and focus on anything for long periods of time. This product would be great for anyone with ADD problems as it really does help.

Overall, I can’t say enough good things about this product. It works beautifully for me and I know this product could be life changing for someone with concentration, focus and alertness problems.

It is a little expensive, but like I said, this product could be life changing!

Review:

I am an avid water drinker. Actually, 99% of what I drink is water. I just feel better and refreshed when I drink water. Drinking water is a great way to lose weight and stay healthier. While water is all good and great, it can get a little boring after a while. It’s expensive to buy flavored water or water flavoring in the store and they don’t taste very good. It’s also not really great for the environment either with all that wasted plastic.

So that being said, the infuser bottle is amazing! It lets me drink the water I want, and add any kind of flavor I want very easily. I can add any fruit or even mint to my water to flavor it however I want and that is very cool. It’s also like that this is so easy to do and easy to refill when I need or want more. This is a great eco-friendly drinking tool.

I’ve used regular water bottles and have tried adding fruit to them, but it doesn’t quite work out so well. The fruit just hangs out in there and either clogs up the drinking straw or just tries to wiggle its way in my mouth all at once. I love that this infuser bottle has a basket to put the fruit in to keep it all together. It’s very easy to use and very handy.

So far I’ve tried this bottle with strawberries, pineapples, lemons, mint, cut up blueberries, and oranges. I loved everything I’ve tried so far. I have a few more things I want to try (limes, raspberries, grapes, etc.). I like to cut the fruit up first before putting it in the basket for more flavor. It works wonderfully and my water is so delicious!

I absolutely love this infuser bottle and can’t imagine not having it now that I have it. I think any avid water drinker must have this bottle! It’s affordable and it works beautifully! No more boring water for me!

The Moisturize side includes antioxidant CoQ10 and
Hyaluronic Spheres. This formula is specially designed for long-lasting
hydration to help give lips a fuller and smoother appearance. The Renew side is
made from natural butters such as Shea and Mango, and softens, conditions and
revitalizes lips. Both sides of the new dual-ended Hydration Lock are
clinically proven for healthier looking lips.

Try this new innovation from ChapStick® to experience
transformation of how your lips will look and provide you with long-lasting
hydration.

Review:

Being a Smiley360 Member, I was given the opportunity to try
this ChapStick Hydration Lock Moisturize and Renew for free. I am a bit of a
ChapStick nut and always have it nearby. I keep at least 2 in my purse, 2 in my
nightstand, and I keep some in my locker at work. I always have dry lips and
always need to keep them hydrated.

This was the first time I got to actually try the dual ended
ChapStick and I was beyond excited as I had seen this in the stores and had
wanted to try it but did not as I couldn’t justify getting yet another
ChapStick when I already have a handful.

So when I actually tried the Dial ended ChapStick, I was so
amazed at how amazing it was! I love that one end is to moisturize and the
other end is to renew. They both work amazingly. When my lips feel too dry, I
use the moisturize side and it does the tick each time. When my lips are just
in need of some renewing, I use the renew side and it works wonders. I am not
going to be buying any other ChapStick from now on! This product is awesome! It even has a vanilla flavor on one side and a
botanical medley flavor on the other side that both taste great.

This product also claims to have advanced anti-aging formula
on the moisturize side and natural butters such as Shea on the renew side. This
is probably the best ChapStick invention yet!

Disclaimer: While I was provided this ChapStick product for
free, all the opinions are my own!

This Vegan Hyaluronic Acid is unique in that it has small molecules and can penetrate the skin’s deeper layers.

This product can benefit skin tissue repair and provide the best protection. It quickly forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis.

You can reverse free radical damage- this product provides great benefits in protecting your skin from UV damage. Protect your skin from UVB rays and prevent sunspots. (*Hyaluronic acid should be stored in a cool dry place, away from light.)

Excellent powerful anti-aging functions – this product has the highest concentration of hyaluronic Acid which provides moisture, plumpness, firmness and suppleness to the skin.

Joyal Premium Real Pure Vegan Hyaluronic Acid Serum Contains NO Benzyl Alcohol! Many other brands "pure" hyaluronic acid serum contains alcohol which will dry your skin. Joyal hyaluronic acid serum is Real 100% ALL NATURAL without any chemicals! Even their preservative is radish-derived and ORGANIC! This serum is suitable for ALL skin types.

Review:

It’s no secret that I love Hyaluronic Acid serums and this one is no different. I have been using it twice a day, and let it absorb into my skin. I especially like to use it under my eyes and around my eyes where I have too many fine lines! I notice as I age I get more and more fine lines. My skin isn’t quite the same as it was when I was younger. It’s a tough thing to deal with. I do find that Hyaluronic Acid really does make a difference in my skin. I have softer skin, I notice my fine lines are softened (but not completely gone), and I notice the small discolorations are fading.

This serum also works great to lock in moisture and to keep skin healthy and hydrated.

I love that this product is absolutely completely natural. This is something that is very important to me! I can’t stand the thought of putting chemicals on my skin. I also noticed this serum was a little thicker than some of the other serums I’ve used. This serum soaked into my skin quickly, despite this. I actually like the serums that are a bit thicker. I love that this serum is alcohol-free as it keeps my skin from drying out.

They recommend you apply this serum to your WET face or dilute It a little with some water for best results.

I love that I can use this product under my moisturizer and makeup with no problems whatsoever. It’s as though it’s not even there. I also love that you only need a small amount. One bottle will last a very, very long time! You really get your money’s worth in value and benefits to your skin.

Like other Foxbrim products, this one is wonderful. It is scent free, light and easily absorbs into the skin. It would be a great lotion for those with sensitive skin as this is very non-irritating.

I love that this lotion leaves my skin feeling so much softer and smoother. It works wonders at keeping my skin hydrating. I like to use it on my face (a little goes a long way), and I also like to use it on some dry patches that I have on my arms. This lotion is so wonderful!

I love that it has Vitamin C (works so great on skin!), and Shea Butter, JoJoba and Green Tea (among other great ingredients). Natural ingredients are the best! I hate putting unnatural, strange, odd, and dangerous ingredients or chemicals on my skin. That just is not healthy.

Overall, this product has met a need of mine and I am very pleased with it. I would most certainly recommend this product to anyone looking for a great moisturizing lotion that can work wonders on your skin!

These gloves are great for turning food over and removing food from the grill.

You can prepare pulled pork, handle hot corn-on-the-cob, boiled eggs, roast marshmallows and hot dogs over a camp fire, tend to the fireplace, grab cold drinks and food from the freezer, open lids,, and so much more!

These are easy to wash in the dishwasher and one size fits small, medium and large hands (but not extra-large hands 6” wide or larger). These are also heat resistant up to 425 degrees F.

Review:

I just received these gloves today and I just had to try them out! They look and feel great and I love that they come with a free basting brush! I actually needed one of those.

I got these gloves in green because I really love the color green. I like that these come in a variety of colors – I don’t like to be limited when it comes to colors!

These gloves are very sturdy, strong, heavy duty and fit my hand great. I consider myself to have medium size hands (I wear medium gloves). I really wanted to try them out because of what I was making for dinner. I was boiling some eggs for a salad I was making and I was planning on making pulled pork, so these actually came at a good time to test them out!

I didn’t have time to put them in the dishwasher first, so I hand washed them before I used them. After I had washed them, I let them dry before I wanted to use them.

After I had boiled my eggs, I actually used the gloves to take the eggs out of the water. I wanted to test and see if I could really pull boiled eggs out of boiling water. I could, no problem! I didn’t burn my hands at all.

As far as using the gloves to pull pork, they work amazingly! They have such a good grip to them that pulling the pork was super easy and quick. It usually takes me forever, but with the gloves, it really didn’t take too long and I didn’t burn my hands at all. I was really surprised!

Overall, these gloves are fantastic! I would think they would make a great gift for any BBQ’er or anyone who really likes to cook a lot! They have so many uses, not just solely for cooking.

Our Vitamin C Facial Toner is the perfect way to tone and hydrate your skin while still delivering the powerful benefits of Vitamin C and other anti-aging elements. First, the sulfur in each spray will drive deep down to penetrate your skin and increase elasticity to maximize results. At the same time, the Witch Hazel present in the toner will gently purify your skin and pores, even helping to reduce their size and appearance. Simultaneously, Vitamin C renews and strengthens the skin to reverse the signs of aging and help prevent future damage. The Vitamin C Facial Toner is a great all-in-one hydrator that preps your skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more efficiently and effectively and is the perfect staple to add to your beauty regimen.

Review:

This Vitamin C Facial Toner is absolutely wonderful. I love that it’s a spray bottle as the mist is super fine and very refreshing. The scent itself was very citrusy and sort of reminded me of citronella.

I liked to use this Vitamin C Facial Toner in the evenings before bed after washing my face to tone my face and neck areas. I spray a light mist over my face and use a little cotton pad to wipe off the excess along with any extra dirt and makeup that may be left on my face. It feels so refreshing!

InstaNatraul’s products are wonderful natural products and they actually care about your skin and what is good for it. This particular product is great for your skin as it has Vitamin C in it to help renew, hydrate, and tighten your pores.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I really need help with my pores. I have a hard time finding products that actually work to help keep them small. This product actually does help. After using for a while now, I can tell a difference. My pores aren’t nearly as large as they typically are. I am so happy about that!

Overall, I can say that this product is a great one by InstaNatural. I really love the fine mist spray and I love how great that this product works.

Body Merry’s power packed duo of Hyaluronic Dew Serum and Pro-A Serum is perfect for those looking for an effective natural and organic formula to fight the signs of aging.

Hyaluronic Dew Serum:

Morning dew is nature’s reminder that we all need moisture to kick start our day. This premium hydrating serum contains plant derived Hyaluronic Acid that provides the perfect amount of ‘dew’ to last throughout the day. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Green Tea add that extra punch, leaving your skin smooth and nourished.

Pro-A Serum:

Much has been said about the power of Retinol in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and its not without reason. This professional grade 2.5% retinol serum lets you truly sink in all the goodness of Vitamin A. Plant derived Hyaluronic Acid adds the much needed hydration and Green Tea works its charm as a powerful antioxidant.

Review:

As always, I love Body Merry’s products. Let me start with the Pro-A serum. It comes in a cute little dark bottle with a dropper. I opened it to smell it and see what it looked like. It didn’t really have much of a smell if at all, which is kind of nice. It was also a nice consistency as well.

When I used it, I did so as the directions stated. I first washed my face and towel dried it. I used the dropper to squeeze out a small amount into my hand and used my fingertips to gently apply It to my face and my neck. It absorbed quickly and I let it dry before using the Hyaluronic Dew Serum.

The Pro-A serum is made in the USA and cruelty free!

Body Merry’s Hyaluronic Dew Serum also comes in a cute little glass bottle with dropper. It has a nice consistency and also has a nice scent as well. It almost smells like fresh rain, or even dew (as in the name of the serum). Like the Pro-A serum, I dropped out some in my hand and used my fingers to gently apply the serum to my face and neck. I could feel the serum working on hydrating my skin- It felt great! I let it absorb into my skin before I moved onto my normal skincare routine (moisturizer, makeup, etc.)

I really like using these two products in combination as I really feel they are helping my skin to stay and look young! My skin looks and feels great and I feel good knowing I am using a great product on my skin to keep it healthy and young-looking.

Like the Pro-A serum, The Hyaluronic Dew Serum is cruelty free and made in the USA.

Review:

Let me preface this review by saying that I probably have the worse “panda” eyes I’ve ever seen anyone have. I’ve seen bad circles under eyes, but mine seem to always top the cake. I have almost uncoverable bad dark circles and bags under my eyes. I’ve always had them and nothing I’ve ever tried has ever worked to permanently fix the problem. I guess it just is what it is! I have a bit of an insomnia problem and have to get up early for work, so there are many times I also wake up with bags to go with my circles. Lovely, I know!

That being said, Total Youth Eye Gel goes after those dark under eye circles, making them lighter and diminishes their appearance.

I love the pumper bottle that this product comes in as it pumps out just the right amount of product. The gel itself is a nice thick gel that goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. I like the way this feels on my skin and I can feel it doing something after it’s on my skin. I can tell a bit later on that my bags aren’t nearly as bad as they had been after waking up and my circles are still there (it’s a congenital problem), but they seem not quite as bad as they normally are. I still need to use my concealer, but do appreciate what this product does for my bags.

Overall, I really like this product and will continue to use this product as it does seem to work very well for my under eye bags.

Disclosure: I received this product for free for my honest and unbiased review. I was not paid at all for this review. I only review products that I feel I would like and that I believe my readers would like as well.

100% Pure USDA Certified Organic Virgin Rosehip Seed Oil

This oil is extracted from rose bush seeds, using a special process to preserve its natural cosmetic qualities, which includes containing high amounts of essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic.

Review:

Rosehip Oil is an all-natural, lightweight and anti-inflammatory moisturizer that is used to heal, nourish, and hydrate skin. Rosehip oil is also great for wrinkles, scares, rashes, burns, scars, dry skin, dermatitis, age spots, brittle nails, psoriasis, eczema, hyper-pigmentation, radiation and sun damage and for dry and damaged hair.

One thing I’ve learned about rosehip seed oil is that you can use it as a makeup remover and it actually works very well. I love that Dr. Song’s rosehip seed oil has a dual purpose. I can use it to moisturize my skin and also remove makeup. It works very well for that purpose.

Dr. Song’s rosehip oil has been a part of my daily routine for a while now and I can really tell a difference in the texture of my skin and I can tell a few of the spots on my face have started to lighten. I’ve also been using it on my elbows with great success. They aren’t near as dry and cracked as they had been and it’s amazing to actually say that they are starting to soften up a bit.

Another use for this oil that I’ve recently started to try out is putting it on my dry feet. I’ve had such dry feet for quite some time and heard using rosehip seed oil on it would help. So when I got Dr. Song's rosehip oil, I put some on a cotton pad and rubbed it into my feet. I can say that my feet are much softer now! It’s amazing what this oil can do.
